An almost straight shot (apart from RAW to black & white) from the Pentax *ist D that I recently had converted to infrared by ACS in Norfolk.

This is of a couple of the stones from the Avebury circle. It was a busy weekend so taking a shot without anyone touching or laying against a stone was virtually impossible. Here a dog walked into view. He cocked his leg to have a pee. I had to shoot as another group were working round to obscure my views.
I like the inclusion of the silhouetted dog, but I edited the raised back leg so it's not looking like it's peeing

Looks like the camera conversion was worth while. Excellent image, outstanding detail and I think you were right to adjust the dog, otherwise the image would have been about the dog and nothing else.
Never been impressed with IR but this could convert me, suits the subject.

Nice shot Pete. I always wanted to try IR one day. I really like the white clouds in the b/g. You've included quite a bit a sky and I think a square crop could work better by giving a more balanced composition.

Thanks all.
Guillaume that's a good point. I left the picture as shot (whole frame) but a crop, not to square, but to remove the top strip of black just above the hoop cloud in the centre would be a better composition.

Yes Conrad, this is with a polarising filter. That reminds me I was going to let you about this question a while ago. It works in the same way, so the blue becomes darker, which is one reason why I have a very dramatic sky on this.

What a great effect Pete, just came across this shot as I was looking for pictures of Avebury on epz...you got my juices flowing for going bcak there again when I can after talking about it over the weekend.
